Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
ive been out of the whole computer scene for a while(6 months), whenever i browse these forum i end up spending money, so my question is whats a reasonable price to spend on a 40gb western digital 7200rpm 2 meg cache used?
Why even bother? If you are paying more than 50 cents per gig you're not doing your shopping. Fry's had a 160GB on sale for $60 after rebates. And there's a thread here where a Maxtor 60GB hd is going for under $20 after rebate today at OfficeDepot, I believe.
Search your Sunday adverts and always buy when the sales come up.
